I began work on a book last summer. It became clear to me that I was writing a kind of handbook for individual action to achieve world peace. It seems to be the culmination of all the insights, observations and soul-crushing experiences I’ve come through in my 5 decades on this planet.
From one perspective, the reason this planet has never seen peace, is because humans have been indoctrinated with all the wrong information about how reality works, and this has been going on for millennia. In my own lifetime, I’ve observed that humans have abdicated their own responsibility for creating peace. What I call global power clusters (UN, NATO etc.) and individuals and groups within those power clusters (politicians, governments, national and global authorities) have taken it upon themselves to be the purveyors of world peace, but war-mongers and “peace-keepers” who “keep peace” with lethal weapons—peace via the threat of death—are the purveyors of war, violence and suffering. And they’ve told us it’s peace and so many believe peace comes at the point of a gun. Peace is not their agenda. They have everyone divided up and playing whack-a-mole with individual social and political issues across the whole of society, rather than addressing all problems at the source, which, on a very general level, has to do with the fact that human mentality has been paralyzed in an intricate web of lies from as far back as the times of Sumer.
Thus, I am working within the spiritual sector, but because one of the main purposes of my writing is to introduce individuals to a new mentality, and ease them into a different paradigm of life, what I’m writing reaches into other sectors. This is more than a shift in worldview. It is a shift into a paradigm where one by one, individual by individual, we transcend this dystopia. I have a clear vision of how to do it. I’ve done it. Step by step. And I get more insights every day. But the path is unique for each individual and it is not for the weak of heart, and definitely not for the weak of mind.
Peace is a lifestyle choice, so the current working title of my book is The World Peace Lifestyle Challenge. To my dismay, however, it has now become far too big to be called a handbook. But it is a challenge I am putting to people. It calls for a change of lifestyle, and for the one who takes the challenge, it will probably be the biggest challenge of their life. It has definitely been the biggest challenge of my life.
Until today, when I finished watching Thrive II, I didn’t think there was a person on the planet who had an awareness of all of the different facets of life I am addressing in this book—all of them being interwoven and therefore necessary to address.
I have kept my entire writing project a secret, due to the fact that nobody would be able to understand how I am connecting different facets of life and experience, or the insights I get every day for my book. I have been lagging in my research for the book due to a constant stream of problems I need to focus on healing in myself. And then I document my healing and how I overcome each issue, and suddenly it becomes research for my book.
I have lost a lot of momentum for my writing, because I feel very alone in all I am seeing, and I don’t even have anyone to bounce ideas off of. So I would love to have someone, or someones, to hold me accountable. I think it would be a great loss, and a failure of achieving one of my main life purposes, if this book never saw the light of day. Can anyone help me?
Edit: To make things more difficult–I have no income at all, so I cannot afford to pay to be on this forum. I have to make do with the free version.
